Syntax

campos([x y z])

Sets the camera position, in data coordinates.

pos = campos

Returns the current position.

campos('auto')

Input arguments

[x y z]: Three-element vector.

Output arguments

pos: Row vector with the camera position.

Example

Setting the position

surf(peaks(10))
campos([20 -20 15])
